Cut the hazelnut out today. I will deal with the stump tomorrow. Roots from these three trees were sucking all the nutrients and water from my garden--so they must go. I examined the rings of the trees after cut-down and I could see that they grew tremendously in the last two years since I started cultivating and watering the garden. You simply cannot plant around trees if you want a good garden. Next year I will cut down a huge mountain ash in the corner of my yard--I found roots from it about 20 feet from the stump and 4 feet underneath the soil--its gotta go, can't have them competing with my pumpkins and garden.
In other news, I did not water today again because of the rain. .3 cm of rain in the yard and the weather was cool. In spite of this I got about a 10 lb gain on the main one for an approximate weight of 551 lbs. As long as it stays slow and steady. Hot weather is supposed to come around in the next few days. Still have not sprayed with Sevin, maybe tomorrow. Leaves showing age lately with the cool weather. I have new leaves sprouting, have stopped terminating tertiaries as I need all the new growth I can get.
